I'm very excited about it, please spread the news!

How to fortify a marsh against sea-level rise without smothering the marsh? Putting mud on the bay floor and letting the tides apply it might just work. My story for Hakai Magazine hakaimagazine.com/news/making-a-…

Amazing flow visualization of #flow #vortices formed by owl🦉flight using neutrally buoyant soap bubbles. Amazing to see the trailing wingtip vortices persisting in the owl's wake. Nature's #FluidDynamics at its finest!

PhD Voice - Independently Run

#Etna 's Southeast Crater continues emitting countless graceful vapor rings ('volcanic vortex rings'), a phenomenon never seen like this before. Someone said 'maybe because we receive so much bad news lately, Etna has decided to do something simply beautiful'. 5 April 2024

I am still hoping that this is an April 1st joke that was published one day late forbes.com/sites/jodiecoo…

Unintentional experiment in fluvial geomorphology works out as pretty much as would be predicted. Left: Before (2013). Right: After (2023). Google Earth images.

Exciting data release🚨Compilation of published paleoseismic data from Cascadia built by the Cascadia EQ hazards USGS Powell Center working group led by Dr. Lydia Staisch. The goal is to provide benchmarks to test models, compare records, identify data gaps,etc
